COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - The last time Georgetown and Maryland played a basketball game in the Washington area, coaches John Thompson and Gary Williams stood in front of their respective benches at the USAir Arena.
After Maryland won that memorable 1993 duel 84-83 in overtime, Williams leaped across the floor in an impromptu victory celebration while Thompson walked off the court with his signature white towel draped over his shoulder.
Thompson retired in 1999, and his son - 49-year-old John Thompson III - has been the Hoyas' coach since 2004. Williams is also retired.
